Ottawa Now - OPS Chief calls out 'pattern of inappropriate behaviour' within the police force

In this message that was obtained by CTV Ottawa, he called out a pattern of inappropriate behaviour, and basically told his members that they need to change their behaviour or turn in their badge.

OPS Deputy Chief Trish Ferguson joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
